No ransom

[fasthd97]

If I bring my army to a neutral faction that is also at war with a faction my army will give them their prisoners

First, do you use any mods? If you don't, can you please elaborate on what you mean by "give them their prisoners", in terms of what you expect and what happens in reality in a more detailed way?

I'm guessing he means if he leads an army (that has won a battle and gotten lord prisoners) to a town, the AI lords in his army put their prisoners into the dungeon of the town. I think this is working as intended and the AI want prisoners... in prison. They wont escape as fast, it is better for them. The AI will also drop prisoner off into your towns the same way and you'll get the ransom money for it. My town Chaikand is often making a lot of money from everyone fighting the khuzaits and dropping prisoners off, even though I'm at peace with everyone. It's really funny to come home and see all these lords who are at war with each other, stuck together in my prison.

If they're your personal prisoners, in your party, then that might be a bug, but I actually don't know.

I meant that armies are dropping them off in prison but it seems weird that you drop them off in someone elses prison.

Yeah they drop them in nearest prison they can, so if you're leading them you could take them to a town of your faction and they'll drop them there.

This is the way it is designed, but of course, as with many things, it might be subject to change and we appreciate the feedback. Currently, it works as intended.

My main issue with this is that your army can give up high-value targets like say monchug to essentially a third party which doesnt seem all that logical to me.
